Paypal not accepting business credit cards

This is just a heads up to anyone using paypal as their only payment processor. A customer trying to pay you with a corporate or business credit card will get an error, and will not be able to be billed. I don't know how long this has been going on, but it can be very damaging to a business, so i just thought id let everyone know

I would think that would have something to do with the business card. Some corporate cards has a special code they must use. Some companies also give a limit per purchase amount. If it's just a regular card there should be no reason for it to go through. It might also be a gift card thats only good at certain locations.

This is most likely specific to a certain card, or bank, because I have used several business cards to make purcahses, and accepted several thousand through paypal without any problem.
